  • The Covid rules are all over the place, no idea what we’re meant to be doing other than no more than 6. But you can go to work with any number of random people 😩
    I don't understand this myself. I'm gwtti f quiet frustrated too. 

    Obviously we have to work to earn money but it's a bit contradicting. 

    Damned if you and damned if you don't. 
  • Work continues to be a total shocker. And today the weather has turned and the kids were barnpots. The rest of it is a mess. 
    I had crappy news about the rabbits. My boy is on his third lot of antibiotics so I need to find a friend for my girl and just make my boy comfortable until either it is time for him to go or he gets better. 
    I have decided to pay someone to do stuff in the garden. My back is awful and I tried at the weekend but just couldn't. I really need to get back to yoga and some kind of stretching. I wanted to avoid spending money but I will just work hard to preplace it. I need to live now and I want the animals outside. Life must be better than this. 
    Take care all XXXX

    It makes sense to get someone in to do the work. If you get sorted a bit it’ll make you feel better and energise you to do more. Sometimes it’s just that step to get going that’s needed.

    Yeah, in the end that was what I thought. There are so many things I need to move on from and let go, I must deal with the things I can control and put aside those I cannot. I am so unhappy in so many ways. So almost devastated that this is my life. I will do my best change it.

  • A friend shared this recently and I now have a couple of the cards squirrelled away for the next person who may need one.  Which sounds like you - so here's the virtual version.

  • Ok, so the rubbish in the front garden was take away and I am going to tidy it a bit more tomorrow. I have to take boy rabbit to the vet tomorrow. But I have to do as much as I can in the garden. Hopefully just windy tomorrow not raining. and build a hutch. 
    As I don't have children and all my close friends do my life isn't so bad. Tho work is terrifying and I miss D***head very badly - unfortunately I think his father has only been given a short time to live and so he has shut down - I am moving on. I really am which is surprising. Barely hear from him now. I do appreciate that he doesn't have time for anything and yet again with him it is bad timing . I know people here think that he messes me about and well maybe he has done but he has been a good friend and I shall miss him. He is gone now. 
    I think I really feel that if I sort the house and the garden out my immediate future will be better. The savings can be improved post this but I cannot put my basic needs on hold until I save enough. If we go into lockdown again I CANNOT survive if the house is still in a mess. 
    Money wise the CC is 200ish (hutch, food shopping, birthday present and pet food) so all ok. 
    savings don't increase till the 1st of October. 
    Car insurance is due in November as is the MOT. 

    I will keep pushing on till things are better. 

    Thank you XXX
